the assault weapons ban to cover the weapon used by james holmes in aurora. it did limit magazines to 10 bullets. he had 100. jamming, he would have killed twice, three times as many. why is it that after katrina, we said that we had to do something about the levees? after 9/11, we agreed we had to do something about security and terrorism. but something like columbine, something like aurora, virginia tech -- no, no, we are helpless, pitiable giants, because the nra is all-powerful. >> the reason we cannot do it is not because of a lobby but because of the cowardice of the democrats. we don't have a debate on gun control in the country. we have it on talk shows, but not in congress. if you have a debate, you have one party on one side and the other on the other it did a democrat would not even give his name in nina's quotation here. if you want to blame it on the lobby, you are barking up the wrong tree. the lobby in the sugar quotas is the minority that the majority would oppose if they cared or knew about it. hear, it is not the nra representing a minority.
